This is HATE SPEECH. He hates kids. He hates that they have fun using TikTok because he pretends something bad could happen without any evidence of anything bad that good parenting would resolve.
The irony of the U.S hunting down Edward Snowden for denouncing the NASA of doing the same thing. I guess it's ok when we do it to our own people, but it's oppressive when other governments do it to their own people.
From 8:58 to 9:12, don't we already have Fox news and CNN doing the same thing as well?
Is TikTok a threat because it’s collecting data? Or because the FBI, CIA, NSA, RCMP, CSIS, etc can’t access that data and censor like they can with US owned companies.
No joke, I know many married couples in America that are on the rocks or getting divorced in part because of TikTok’s influence telling them that one of them is always cheating, be suspicious but also telling the woman “go get the bag”, “you deserve better than him” but they don’t even know him, it’s insane.
There’s whole channels dedicated to “how to manipulate & lie”, basically how to be a fraud.
I'm not sure I learned much of anything from this. It sounds like the Chinese algorithm is stronger sure, but ultimately not much different from the algorithms used in America to steer the viewer in a particular direction.
So wait. We're ok with the CIA having access to all our data but not the Chinese
This is all U. S. propaganda. What is so sensitive and of concern for what goes on TikTok? There's no h bomb secrets, plots to kill somebody, etc. The U. S. failed its citizens and want them to toe the line of the elites. But they're too smart to give in. This is all bs and I'm surprised breaking points stoop to this level of nonsense. We are sick of these "experts" trying to get us into switching to the U. S. social apps that suck and which btw capture and store our data. Why don't you just be specific about what is being taken from us? The NSA does this every single day.
lol us americans just getting absolutely shat on from all sides of the sea.
China uses 'national security' as the justification for their State Capitalism system. If we do the same in the US, shouldn't we at some point admit that we no longer believe in free enterprise? In the name of 'national security' we're undermining everything that makes us different from authoritarian regimes.
If China is beating us at our own game in the attention economy, why don't we just build better platforms, instead of censoring and banning competition?
The same video is shown in China about the U.S. ( That being Said, anyone in The USA should look to keep USA as No. Economy and Military power , and China CCP will Look to undermined the U.S.A.
The NSA HSA CIA FBI and ones we don't even know about do the same. Hypocrite much?
Reckless Cowboy is my middle name 🤠
it is a national security imperative that only the CIA and FBI can harvest our data and monitor and psych-op us. anyway our cringe dance challenges and shitposts are our most precious resource so who wants chicom grubby mitts on that
With all the twitter file dumps I beg to differ with Chris, we have exceeded what the Chinese govt. would do. Leave it to the left to far exceed expectations.
Mainstream media just would not even mention this at all, let alone US gov
America, the stupidest country in the history of the world.
He's foolish to think China will settle for an equal partnership of power throughout the world with the U.S. China is going to do what's in their best interest, as should we. The Chinese communist party believes it should be the dominant power of the 21st century and the U.S. needs to simply move aside. However, it seems the Chinese haven't even seen the writing on the wall yet. Their economy is going to implode as their population ages and shrinks, and the U.S. accelerates pulling business out of China. China's best days may already be over. The U.S. should be looking towards make fair, and legal trade agreements with India, which has a much better chance of becoming a super power that could match the U.S. economically speaking.
huh what he talking about the left is in bed with china on so much
I think you guys ought to add Maria Ressa on your list of people to interview regarding this subject some time.
rah rah rah, get that xenophobia roaring
Same as FB weaponized data
Poorly done piece, but an important message nonetheless.
Hey let’s combat government over reach with more government over reach.
Everything he is saying about censorship or influence is what the current media, CNN, Facebook, Twitter, Google, our govt is currently doing. Yet nothing is changed here eventhough the data and servers are here and from u.s. Companies.
The whole premise of the "Chinese version of tick tock being used to amplify things to help the youth be better citizens" was made up by the Comedian Andrew Schulz
Imagine if the media didn't lie when Trump talked about this very problem…this stuff was known since 2019 into 2020.
China has been around for millennia.. they know staying power! Tiktok is a nasty addiction. This is a 21st century retaliation for the opium wars.
Looking forward to hearing what TikTok is doing that the US platforms aren't doing.
As a citizen of a US 'ally', I'm appalled at the information the great hegemon collects on our country's citizens.
TIKTOK is allowed in China. What they won't allow is the rubbish that excites Americans to grab for their toys and favourite lubricants. You would be better served to take control of some of the filth and dangerous woke ideology you allow to be distributed to all ages in your country.
This guy knows nothing about China.
Just another American xenaphobe and racist.
America is doing the same in my country.
US hypocrisy again.
It's always brings a hearty laugh to hear Americans talking about these issues.
